Description

CHEMISTRY A 

Chemistry A is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. This course describes the nature of matter in terms of molecular behavior. Concepts studied in Chemistry A require students to develop a deep conceptual understanding of matter and energy at the molecular level and therefore requires strong mathematical and critical thinking skills. Topics will include atomic structure, periodic properties, chemical bonding and reactions, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, gas laws, solutions, and acids and bases. Evaluation is based on written tests, quizzes, laboratory reports, special projects, and homework. 

Prerequisite: Biology, Algebra 1 or higher
Guideline: Teacher recommendation required and concurrent enrollment in Algebra 2 or higher
